Comparing and contrasting governments and political systems is a difficult feat. Difference of opinion and methods of measuring how we go about deciding which governments better than others means it can seem almost impossible.However, many experts believe that there is a way to compare governmental systems in such a way that a comprehensive, reliable and in a way that a ranking can be produced. One such ranking is published by the Legatum Institute, based in the United Kingdom. From its methodology, it finds that Switzerland has the best government in the world.

Europe Leads the Way

European countries top the list of Best Governments in the World, the majority of whom are governed by an EU- and UN-affiliated leadership. The top ten countries with the best government according to the Legatum Index Government Ranking are Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Canada, Norway, United Kingdom and Australia. The United States ranks 11 th which incidentally is the same ranking the country has for the most prosperous countries list.

In the democratic Swiss state, the people have the foremost political power, giving them increased opportunities to express their opinion by way of popular voting. All its people have the right to vote and they have the freedom to choose the people who will represent them within their Federal Assembly. The Kingdom of Denmark, on the other hand, is a constitutional monarchy. Therein, their monarch, currently Queen Margrethe II, is the Head of State. The Prime Minister, meanwhile, presides over the government's Cabinet, where the most important executive powers are carried out.

In Sweden, the National Cabinet is the supreme executive authority. They too have a Prime Minister, who is typically assigned by cabinet ministers, and someone called the Speaker of the Riksdag heading the Swedish unicameral national legislature. Legislative power lies with the Parliament in Finland, whereas Luxembourg has their own brand of Parliamentary Democracy. Meanwhile, Norway has a monarchy, the UK a Constitutional Monarchy, and finally Australia its Commonwealth government akin to those of New Zealand and Canada's Federal forms of governance, under the British crown.

Among the factors that have put Switzerland at the top of the rankings is their excellent health care system, top notch educational programs, low levels of air and water pollution, freedom of speech, the right to responsibly defend oneself, a priority given to innovation, and a stable economic environment. These factors are also those being commonly shared by the other countries topping the best government ranking, such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom and Australia.

The Importance of Good Governance to Nations as a Whole

Good governance remains among the benchmarks against which all nations, rich and poor, are often ranked. It is interesting to note that the countries ranked as having the best governments in the world also received similar or closely similar rankings for other lists such as Most Prosperous Countries of the World, the World's Happiest People, the Most Globally Competitive Countries and the World's Most Satisfied People. It would appear that no matter how powerful or progressive or wealthy a nation may be, good governance plays an important role when considering how successful a nation is across the board. As a point in fact, though the United States currently claims to have one of the world's largest economies, it only ranks 11 th in both the Best Governance list and the Best Countries to Live In list. Another market giant, China, has even more disparity. Despite having the 3rd best Economy ranking, it is ranked as 52nd all around, and 67th in Governance. Indeed, "prosperity" itself extends far beyond dollars and cents and economic leverage, with happiness and good leadership being just as, if not even more, important.

2018 Best Countries Report Names Switzerland No. 1 in the World (Wharton University of Pennsylvania)

# data[].attributes.body
From this article they discussed a study done to find what the world believed to be the best country in the world. It ranks 80 countries by polling more than 21,000 people around the world – the U.S. was ranked 8th.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Washington, D.C. - January 23, 2018 - Switzerland held its position as the No. 1 country in the world, according to the 2018 Best Countries report, a rankings and analysis project by U.S. News & World Report, VMLY&R's BAV Group and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In its third year, the rankings evaluate 80 countries across a range of criteria, from economic influence and power to citizenship and quality of life, to capture how nations are perceived on a global scale.

For the first time, respondents were asked their opinions of major world leaders. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel are viewed as the most respected globally, while U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin saw the highest disapproval ratings. Among top business leaders, Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google's parent company Alphabet, was the most respected.

"U.S. News is known globally for its in-depth rankings of complex institutions, like university and hospital systems," said Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer at U.S. News. "We're taking the same approach with governments to help citizens, business executives and policymakers better evaluate their countries and their leadership."
Key Findings in the 2018 Best Countries Report:

Switzerland is No. 1, followed by No. 2 Canada, as countries with more progressive social and environmental policies dominate the overall rankings. Nordic nations - Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway - rank in the top 15 overall. Denmark is the No. 1 country for raising children and for women. Sweden takes the top spot for green living, and Norway ranks at the top for citizenship.

Germany moved up one spot to No. 3, replacing the U.K., which fell to No. 4. Germany's reputation as an open nation with government transparency and strong gender equality led to its rise in the rankings. The U.K.'s drop, however, signals a growing lack of confidence in its economic strength post-Brexit.

Japan remains at No. 5, scoring high marks in entrepreneurship, up-and-coming economies and rich traditions. Singapore and China, at No. 16 and No. 20 respectively, follow among the highest ranked countries in Asia. Both nations are viewed as having a strong potential for economic growth.

The U.S. falls one spot to No. 8, after No. 6 Sweden and No. 7 Australia. It drops in two important categories: open for business, which looks at market-oriented countries, and movers, which evaluates nations with up-and-coming economies. Perceptions of the U.S. as politically stable, democratic and having an open travel policy have decreased. However, the nation remains No. 1 in power for the third year, closely followed by Russia at No. 2.

"For the countries that rose to the top of this year's rankings, it is once again clear that military vigor and economic power are no longer the key determinants to a country's brand success. The Best Countries rankings continue to show us that just as brands must focus on a wide range of attributes to raise profiles and win over audiences, nations that are multidimensional and that reflect a wider range of qualities, such as innovation and compassion, have the brand appeal that propels them on the global stage," said David Sable, Y&R Global CEO.

The 2018 Best Countries ranking methodology relies on data gathered from a proprietary survey of more than 21,000 business leaders, informed elites and general citizens. "The Best Countries report speaks to the effect a nation's brand can have on its economic prosperity and perceived standing in the world," said David Reibstein, professor of marketing at the Wharton School.

The Best Countries rankings are the centerpiece of the growing U.S. News Best Countries portal, a platform combining in-depth news articles, interactive data visualization tools, video, photos and op-eds from global experts in government, business and academia. The platform is part of the expanding civic journalism at U.S. News, which includes the Best States project and the upcoming Healthiest Communities rankings.

Guns, sex and arrogance: I hated everything about America — until I moved here (The Chicago Tribbune)

# data[].attributes.body
This source told the story of an Indian woman who initially perceived the US as a place full of arrogant self-centered people. She later expanded her world view and learned that like any other country, the US has it's good and bad aspects, but the US didn't deserve the hate she had once had for it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As a college student, I hated almost everything about America. Growing up in India, I never viewed the United States as the promised land of freedom and wealth idealized in movies. I never fantasized about a utopia of gold-paved streets. Instead, I saw America as a land of rudeness, overabundance and arrogance - the last place I ever wanted to be. Don't get me wrong. Like many young people in India, I enjoyed Hollywood films, American pop music and TV shows. The humor in "Diff'rent Strokes" and "I Love Lucy" was totally endearing.

But what colored my image of the United States were the pompous relatives and friends who came back to India after an education in the "blessed land." They would talk with a patronizing air as if they had nothing more to learn. They would carry around their own bottled water, claiming that drinking the local water now made them sick. They would speak disapprovingly of the country's "social evils" - the caste system, the payment of dowries, the preference for male children - with a newly acquired Yankee accent.

They would scoff at these things, ignoring the progress being made in India - many of the girls in our family were college-educated and had jobs. The returning experts who brought along their new white spouses were more insufferable than others. One such relative loved to bring up topics related to sex at the dinner table, then laugh at the sight of our uncomfortable faces.

"Do you see how they try and change the topic?" he would point out to his white spouse. "You see, sex is a taboo subject in India."

These experiences led me to believe America was a place of condescending, lascivious xenophobes. They had India all wrong, I thought. Around me, I saw fine doctors, engineers, managers and homemakers, all educated in Indian universities, doing perfectly all right without spending a day in America. India did not need to be validated by some far-off country. My life was secure with a loving family and all the necessities for a comfortable lifestyle. I had never left India, and had no interest in doing so.

At times, I felt alone in my appreciation for my homeland. My irritation mounted as more friends and relatives scrambled for H1-B visas to go to the United States as foreign workers. In 1994, I wrote an essay on halting India's brain drain for a reputed Indian magazine that won me the top prize in a nationwide essay contest. I called for policies that encouraged Indians to stay home, including easier promotions in government jobs and fewer reserved seats in schools, which limited opportunities for bright and ambitious Indians.

Besides, America was not only "the land of milk and honey" that many thought, I wrote, but "also the land of crime, increasing violence, nihilism and psychological problems." Fan mail poured in from all parts of the country, and I felt vindicated with my stand.

But when it came time for me to marry, it seemed that most of the eligible men were either in the United States or getting ready for it. I told my parents to simply cross such men off their list. I would have nothing but "made in India" and "made for India." When I met my future husband, I made him assure me that he had no plans to move to the United States.

Three years after we married, my husband got a job in Singapore. He waved away my tearful arguments, promising we could return to India if I didn't like it. Luckily, Singapore turned out to be a paradise. I frequented the malls, parks and libraries, marveling at the order and discipline, which was sorely missing in India. I got a great job as a magazine editor that allowed me to travel and connect with people from around the world. I absorbed new concepts and examined my old beliefs.

I had developed an exaggerated notion about the closeness of family ties in India, believing that in the West, families were detached and broken because of high divorce rates and pressure for children to leave the family home at 18. But traveling the world, I saw loving families of every race and color. In Amsterdam, I saw old men cycling with their grandchildren to school. In Germany, I saw three generations of a family enjoying a vacation. Stepping out of my country broadened my worldview and pushed my cultural horizons.

My interactions with Americans were most enlightening. My first business trip to the United States took me to Washington, D.C., in 2005. After I checked into my hotel, I went out to find a restaurant. Along the way, I saw so many people absorbed in books: seated on park benches, sprawled on the grass, or waiting for their buses. "This is a book-reading culture," I told myself with delight.

That was just the first of my many positive revelations about Americans. As it turned out, of the various people my job put me in touch with, Americans were the ones I got along with best. They were funny and genial. They spoke engagingly, embodying all the golden rules of public speaking that I had read in Toastmasters manuals: body language, vocal variety, persuasiveness. And their confidence was impressive; almost every American I came across - man or woman, subordinate or the top executive - had a certain confidence (sometimes bordering on cockiness) that came from being totally at ease with the world. I admired the freedom and congeniality. The sense of camaraderie made me feel welcome and comfortable in no time. Americans weren't bad people at all.

But when my husband asked if I wanted to move to America, I still said no. Some of my stereotypes about the country lingered: What about the gun culture? Surely, we didn't want our daughter gunned down at school. And what about the big environmental footprint of America? I shuddered at the prospect of living in a large temperature-controlled house instead of a compact apartment and owning two cars instead of using energy-efficient public transport. Besides, I had no intention of spending all day cooking and cleaning in a country where domestic help was so unaffordable. Why give up such a comfortable life? Reluctantly, my husband put his American Dream on hold, but never failed to hold me responsible.

For six years, I avoided the topic of America but was assailed by self-doubt. I worried that my daughter was losing the chance to achieve her full potential because of limited academic choices. Singapore has only two universities, and even though they are both good, there is no denying that no country offers the abundant selection of good universities that the United States does. And my husband, a chemical engineer, would have far more job opportunities in the United States, which was undergoing a revolution in oil and gas production. The universe seemed to be signaling to get me out of my comfort zone. Finally, I stopped saying no to change, and we moved to Houston.

It was like starting life all over again. I had to learn how to drive in right-hand traffic, how to cook and manage meals without domestic help, and how to do the do-it-yourself jobs around the house. At the same time, I had to unlearn the tendency to micromanage my daughter. In America, she had grown up overnight, choosing her own clothes and speaking her mind. But one by one, my concerns about America were overcome: the homesickness, the fear of driving, the overwhelming housework, playing the soccer mom (debate mom, actually). There was not the overwhelming gun violence that I feared and, though my daughter was independent, our family remained close. Yes, I was driving a car more often, but I also had learned to recycle regularly.

These days, I surprise myself by strongly defending America against trite negative characterizations I hear in other countries. When I was young, I believed that Americans unfairly stereotyped India, but in fact, I had unfairly stereotyped Americans. I had criticized them for not knowing my culture, when I was equally ignorant about theirs. The truth is, the United States is not a land of arrogant xenophobes. It's also not a utopia of freedom and wealth. Like all nations, it harbors a complicated culture, with many layers of good and bad.

If I were to write an essay about India's brain drain today, I would not argue against the best and brightest leaving the country. Instead, I would encourage them to contribute to India by sending remittances to family from abroad, to help boost India's economy and social progress. When people expand their worldview, they enrich themselves and humanity as a whole. I started off as an Indian, but I have become a global citizen.

10 Things the US Does Better Than Anywhere Else (CNN Travel)

# data[].attributes.body
From this resource I learned that the US excels at many things such as sports, diversity and nation parks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In fact, there are at least 10 things by our count that you can't find as good anywhere else on Earth:

"Ahoy!" "Aloha!" "Hey!" "Hola!" "Howdy!" "Hiya!" "Ho there!" "Well, look who it is!" "What's happenin'?!" "'Sup!" "Yo!" "Hello!"

The variety and vibrancy of the American greeting is unrivaled, upholding a threshold of friendliness that Americans demand, Europeans find onerous and others find perplexing.

Want to slip through somewhere un-greeted?

Whether you're leaving a hotel, shopping for a pair of jeans or just trying to get around a bystander, someone's going to pop out from the shadows with a neighborly salutation, the enthusiasm of which may border on deranged.

If we're talking about something that can be done while seated, Americans are probably going to excel at it.

Germany likes to lay claim to the world's first road trip, but having come of age at the same time as the automobile, the United States was custom-built for it.

With roadside oddities like Carhenge in Nebraska and the world's largest ball of paint in Indiana, along with infamous rest areas and national parks (more on those later) dotting America's majestic roadscape at uniform intervals, you're never far from the next adventure.

Unless you're driving through Texas.

With all due respect to the English city, the U.S. is the home of the derby in all its forms, be it racing, smashing or haberdashing.

Originating in the county fairs of the nation's 1950s backwoods, demolition derbies, like the one held annually in Delaware County, New York, pit hulking early-model autos against one another in contests of Americanly excessive ramming until only one remains functional.

On the oval track, Louisville's Kentucky Derby is a spectacle of horseshoed pageantry, while roller derbies from Austin to Seattle are cataclysms of people-wheeled fury.

Not to keep taking shots at Germany, but there's only so much you can do with barley and hops.

Live a little, Üter!

By contrast, American brewers aren't bound by purity restrictions on their craft, allowing them to push the pint glass with new additives, processes, styles and malt and hops strains moved through the largest number of breweries of any nation on earth.

Whether it's Portland, Oregon's Hopworks, Grand Rapids, Michigan's Founders, or Asheville, North Carolina's Wicked Weed breweries, in no country is beer more innovative.

The U.S. is a microcosm of nearly every world culture, climate, landscape and category of wildlife. (And whatever doesn't occur naturally gets recreated at Disney.)

Beaches extend from Cape Cod to Kaanapali; bayous encircle the Gulf of Mexico; alpine mountains streak the Rockies and Appalachians; rain forests span the Pacific Northwest; deserts stretch across the Southwest.

Cougars, wolves, bear, bison and mustangs roam plains and forests; gators, crocs, whales, dolphins, turtles and snakes frequent the coasts; condors, eagles, falcons, flamingos, bats and pterodactyls -- just making sure you're still with us -- inhabit the skies.

But of course the Melting Pot concept was built on ethnic diversity. Despite the politics of immigration, the U.S. has and will continue to welcome the world's huddled (and also brilliant) masses, making it as heterogeneous as any nation on earth.

Geo-diversity has pocked much of the landscape with vast gorges and canyons that create expansive pockets of pure emptiness ringed by the most stunning rock formations, vegetation and slack-jawed tourists imaginable.

Unbelievable until experienced, Utah's Bryce Canyon is the closest you can get to another planet without tickets on Virgin Galactic.

Then there's Black Canyon of the Gunnison (Colorado), Palo Duro Canyon (Texas), Canyon de Chelly (Arizona), Sequioa and Kings Canyon (California), Waimea Canyon (Hawaii) and hundreds more to round out a list so deep and wide that it makes the U.S. the hands-down winner in this category even without mentioning the Grandest one of them all.

Overlooked during the westward expansion of the American frontier in the 1800s, Yellowstone was made the world's first national park the way you might give the last kid picked for kickball the top spot in the order.

Turns out it's one of America's great national treasures, a tradition extended to 400 more areas comprising more than 84 million acres of buttes, plateaus, rapids, coral reefs, caverns, badlands, volcanoes, glaciers, falls, fjords, swamplands, sandstone arches, mangroves, geysers, gift shops and excellent interpretive centers ranging from coast to coast.

Make all the fat jokes you want -- seriously, they're hilarious -- but no other nation offers the portions and varieties of culinary experimentation found in the U.S.

This year's gastronomic breakthrough was the cronut, a croissant-donut hybrid introduced by Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City.

It's just the latest in a litany of extreme foods that's yielded curated cupcakes, ramen burgers, sushirritoes, Korean tacos -- the only limit will be an eventual shortage of truffles.

There's nothing the home of super-sizing won't deep-fry, roll in bacon or drown with nacho cheese sauce, proving Americans eat like none other.

Just don't ask them to do math.

Most countries have a national sport. The U.S. has four. (OK, three; you can have hockey, Canada.)

While the world's most popular sport, soccer, has yet to gain critical traction in the U.S., it also has the burden of competing with the seasonal panoply of baseball, football, basketball and hockey.

That's tough enough without NASCAR, golf and action sports like extreme death gliding and low-orbit cloudboarding or whatever else is nipping at soccer's heels.

Some of the best places to catch a game in the U.S. are Wrigley Field (Chicago) and Fenway Park (Boston) for baseball; Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) and Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wisconsin) for football; and Cameron Indoor Stadium (Durham, North Carolina) and Rupp Arena (Lexington, Kentucky) for college basketball.

From internationally beloved TV shows like Breaking Bad and The Daily Show to movies like Avatar and anything the Coen brothers do to viral videos like Harlem Shake and the Kardashian sex tape, America is the world's dramatic chipmunk.
